Lotte Bailyn, the T. Wilson Professor of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management and author of Breaking the Mold: Women, Men, and Time in the New Corporate World, will give a free and open lecture Monday, Feb. 14, at noon in the Faculty Commons of Martha Van Rensselaer Hall on the Cornell University campus.

Sponsored by the Cornell Employment and Family Careers Institute, her lecture is titled "Integrating Work and Family: Gender Equity in Corporations and Universities." Bailyn will meet with Careers Institute faculty and postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows during her one-day visit.

Bailyn, a former Matina S. Horner Distinguished Visiting Professor at Radcliffe College's Public Policy Institute, also is the author of Living with Technology: Issues at Mid-Career and co-author of Working with Careers. She is an internationally recognized scholar in the area of organizational change and gender equity. She recently set out the hypothesis that by challenging the assumptions in which current work practices are embedded, it is possible to meet the goals of both business productivity and employee family and community concerns in ways that are equitable for men and women.

The Careers Institute was created in 1997 as one of the first centers funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for the study of working families. The institute is multidisciplinary in its approach to work and family research and is charged with the mission to better understand the dramatic and interdependent changes affecting work and family. Phyllis Moen, the Ferris Family Professor of Life Course Studies in the Department of Human Development at Cornell, directs the institute's research, teaching and outreach activities.
